General

After each run of SORT a log file named SORT.LOG is created in the same directory where SORT is started.
All settings are maintained in RemoteTravel.INI. The file is built by the choices you add in the communication part of SORT (section Remote Travel and Remote Travel-RAS) and My documents (section RemoteTravel-MyDocuments)

Copying of Up and Down files

This happens automatically when you click Start, it will synchronize the up and downfiles

Copying of own documents

Copying of extra documents

If you want other users documents you need to specify this under Setting - Other documents. This will create a wishlist that's sent to the central SO_arc\wishlist the next time you click Start to synchronize with the central database. A copylist is created based on the wishlist when SORTS is run on the server

The wishlist contains the following documents

GG\2000.2\Super001.zip

GG\2000.2\Sterp001.som

Exclude list

The document extensions you add here will all be copied from central to travel and vice versa. But, if you use a modem to connect to the central database you may experience that matching each documents take a lot of time. To reduce this time, you may choose to exclude matching for certain document types. New documents will still be copied, but the matching to determine what document was last edited is excluded.
